Online applications to obtain a Permanent Account Number (PAN) can be made through the websites of National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL) and UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Limited (UTIITSL). Quoting of PAN is mandatory for carrying out a number of tasks, such as making a payment above Rs. 50,000 in cash at a hotel and sale/purchase of a motor vehicle other than two-wheeler. Depository NSDL charges a fee of Rs. 56-Rs. 862 (excluding taxes) for every PAN card application made online, according to its e-governance website, tin-nsdl.com. PAN or Permanent Account Number is a ten-digit alphanumeric identification number issued by the Income Tax Department. (Also read: Aadhaar-PAN Linking: How To Link PAN With Aadhaar Online)
Here’s all you need to know about the charges levied by NSDL for Permanent Account Number (PAN) applications submitted online:
The fee varies based on whether the applicant requires a physical PAN card. For example, NSDL charges a fee of Rs. 56-61 for every online application wherein a resident applicant only wants to be allotted a PAN and not be issued a PAN card. An electronic- or e-PAN card is sent in a PDF format on the email address provided by the applicant, and a physical PAN card is printed and dispatched to the mailing address.
